Amazonian brown brocket

Mammals

The Amazonian brown brocket, called Passalites nemorivagus in current usage and Mazama nemorivaga in older lists, is a small species of deer almost entirely restricted to South America. It is also known as the small brown brocket. It lives in Panama on Isla San Jose in the Pearl Islands, and across Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, eastern Ecuador, eastern Peru and Brazil, and possibly northern Bolivia. Its main habitat is nonflooded Amazonian tropical rainforest, and it also occurs locally in tropical deciduous forest and xeric shrublands at altitudes up to 1,500 metres. It was treated as a subspecies of the gray brocket until 2000. It is threatened by deforestation and by diseases spread by cattle, but not particularly by hunting.
